IBS: what is it?

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a multi-symptomatic functional bowel disorder, which although considered to be relatively harmless is one of the world's most common diseases.

IBS – who is affected?
IBS affects almost 10-15% of the adult population around the world, whilst many people still remain undiagnosed and never seek medical help. The disorder is slightly more prevalent in women than in men and onsets usually before the age of 40.

Symptoms
IBS is characterized by recurrence of symptoms in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract such as chronic abdominal pain, cramping, an upset stomach with diarrhea/constipation or alternating between the two, bloating, flatulence and hasty need to visit the toilet. This disorder also affects young active people and is sometimes also called “stressed stomach” or “bloated stomach”.

Diagnosis and treatmentThe diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome is usually determined by the physician based on the typical complaint pattern, medical history as well as the exclusion of other diseases. Regardless of being so prevalent, there is lack of both knowledge and effective treatment for IBS.
